Porn Shoulders

The sour zing from the lime in this candle, the luscious notes of cracked coconut... It's the perfect metaphor for that puckered expression some church folks throw at you when they catch you at the mall in a tank top, and then the sweet, rich feeling of IDGAF that washes over you a moment later.

Pardon me, Sister A—, while I slip off my cardigan and let my fabulous shoulders get a peek of the summer sun.

Mind if I shimmy my coconuts while I'm at it?

CANDLE INSPIRATION

In the April 2005 session of General Conference, Dallin H. Oaks gave an 18-minute speech about the perils of pornography. He invoked, among other things, "the everlasting chains of death". He ended his talk by addressing the teenage girls in the audience, saying, "Young women, please understand that if you dress immodestly, you are magnifying this problem by becoming pornography to some of the men who see you."

For the Strength of Youth says, "Immodest clothing is any clothing that is tight, sheer, or revealing in any other manner. Young women should avoid short shorts and short skirts, shirts that do not cover the stomach, and clothing that does not cover the shoulders or is low-cut in the front or the back."

Cover up those porn shoulders, ladies! Because turning yourself into porn is going to bring "the everlasting chains of death" on these poor men around you.

Or you could whip out your shoulders and your knees, light up this candle, and say "Ciao!" to all that nonsense.

QUALITY + SUSTAINABILITY

All ExMo Candles are hand-poured in small batches, and each of our recipes is tweaked and tested before coming online. We take pride in the quality of our candles.

Our candles are also vegan-friendly, made and packaged sustainably, and pthalate-free. Our commitment to sustainability includes a partnership with One Tree Planted, where we donate the money to plant 100 trees for every 100 candles sold.

Finally, the removable labels on our jars make them easy to upcycle. Woohoo!

DISCREET PACKAGING

We know that you might be living with members of the church, or heck, that your mailman might be Mormon. For that reason, we've chosen not to brand our outer packaging in any way. No one will be able to tell from the outside of the box that you've ordered anything related to being an ex-Mormon. This includes the shipping label, which will simply say it's from Jen + Adri.
